Extramural Awards
The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) offers Extramural Activities to the University Community through sponsored programs such as grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements.
The major area of responsibility is extramural sponsored programs whereby principal investigators are assisted in the preparation and submission of proposals for grants, contracts or cooperative agreements. The office also acts as a liaison between the granting agencies, such as the government and private sector, and the University to ensure compliance and acts as a mechanism whereby the University carries out the programmatic and monetary obligations of the activity. To that end, all grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements representing University obligations must be authorized through OSP. A Principal Investigator’s Guide (PI Guide) is located on the OSP website at http://www.swosu.edu/resources/policies/dept/osp/guide.pdf. This is a guide to the preparation, approval and submission of proposals for grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. Each PI or potential PI should become well acquainted with the PI Guide.
Please review additional information provided on the OSP web site (http://www.swosu.edu/administration/osp/index.asp) to learn about funding opportunities, SWOSU grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements policies and procedures, and other pertinent information.
